I'm in the penultimate year of my MPhys degree and I am on track to get a 2.1 I am good friends with the people in the year above me and speaking to them has made me feel a little lost re: careers. Medical physics is something that really interests me, and something I was planning on...

A single splash is seen, hence they hit the water at the same time. Thus, given the initial velocity of the first stone, and the acceleration due to gravity, how long does it take for it to hit the water? For b, if it is to cover the same distance in the time it takes a - 1second, what must...

Halliday Resnick and Walker - fundamentals of physics is pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0470044721/?tag=pfamazon01-20

V.quickly I get 25725 Pa as the height difference is actually 2.5m due to pipe B having more water in it than pipe A (0.5m more). If you made the difference 2.50312 you'd get the answer given, maybe the error is due to assuming a flat fluid boundary instead of a meniscus, but that's just a wild...

Ok, admittedly I stopped reading after the first equation, as I think the rest may be irrelevant (what level of study are you at?). I'd see this as a coulomb repulsion problem. Your statement: 'In quantum mechanics, the particle with energy far lower than a barrier can still penetrate, isn't it...

Do you understand why it looks bent and larger?

No worries mate.

From what I've read the block is a cuboid. Imagine a square that's 0.5cm by 0.5cm, now stretch that back in the third dimension by 3cm, and Bob's your uncle. A similar shape to a packet of gum.

Split the velocity into its vertical and horizontal components. Then just calculate how long until the vertical component equals zero, this will be the time equivalent to the maximum height before the skier starts to descend again. You should have learned the equations of motion, and the...
